Many congratulations to the makers of Jericho, Vivi Ossa and Minuet, who are all award winners in this year's Zero Budget Film Festival, which takes place annually in Sheffield. This year the festival is on Saturday November 16th at 7pm.

All three prize-winning films were completed by our graduating class of animators and 3D artists, who will be receiving their well-earned degrees at the graduation ceremony on November 7th.
